Pre-Order new 2019 album HEXED here. It isn’t out til March but we are slavering over the epic disdain of “Under Grass And Clover”. Bad ass stuff! I haven’t seen these guys live in awhile and definitely have the itch lately. This seems like it is going to be an awesome new era for the band.

Laiho and his showboating madmen of COBHC have released a lyric video for one of their heaviest offerings ever, the rage infected “I Hurt”. The song comes from October 2nd’s anticipated I Worship Chaos (pre-order HERE). This band is always fun and engaging on some level while often being completely over the top and have proven to have quite the staying power.

Details are still sparse right now, but apparently Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho was hospitalized in Nashville last night, forcing the band to cancel their set at the sold-out show featuring them and Amon Amarth. No official statement has been given yet on the cause, but this is somewhat worrying given Laiho’s hospitalization last month which made them cancel a few Mayhem Fest dates. We’ll try to keep you updated if the status of the tour changes.

Metal staples Children of Bodom have just released a making-of video for the music video of their latest single, “Transference.” The track is off Halo of Blood, which is due out June 7 via Nuclear Blast.

Finnish metal band Children of Bodom have released a lyric video for the song “Transference” off of their upcoming album Halo of Blood. The album is set for release on June 6 in Europe, and on June 11 in North America and is a follow up to the bands 2011 Relentless Reckless Forever. Halo of Blood is the bands eighth studio album and will be released via Nuclear Blast.

Frontman Alexi Laiho commented: “Halo Of Blood’ is the eighth studio album from Children of Bodom, and believe it or not, but we still managed to keep it fresh and new while still maintaining the elements that make COB sound recognizable. It’s got the fastest and the slowest song we ever made and lyrics wise there are themes we had never had before. It’s 10 new songs of pure Nordic metal and whether you enjoy it with a beer or a glass of water, I’m sure you will have a good time.”

Finnish headbangers Children of Bodom just released the first official track, “Transference,” from their upcoming eighth studio album, Halo of Blood, which will be put out June 11th via Nuclear Blast. The album can be preordered now via iTunes, and you can download “Transference” instantly if you do so.

Alexi Laiho, lead vocalist and guitarist, said this about the track:

“Transference is a straight up Children of Bodom to the core type song and therefore was a good pick for a video and obviously is one of our favorite tracks. It always had an evil vibe to it which I wish I knew how to explain because it still gives me chills… Enjoy!”

CoB recorded Halo Of Blood at Finland’s Danger Johnny Studios with recording engineer Mikko Karmila, who worked on Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper, and Hate Crew Deathroll with the band previously. The album was produced by the band and Mikko Karmila, and mixed at Finland’s famed Finnvox Studios.

Finnish extreme metallers Children Of Bodom have released the first trailer for their upcoming album Halo Of Blood. The trailer was filmed at a listening party held at Nuclear Blast headquarters in Germany and gives some of the initial opinions of the international press. Recording was taken care of at Danger Johnny Studios in Helsinki, Finland with the help of recording engineer Mikko Karmila, and Swedish producer Peter Tägtgren who was called in to handle keyboards and vocals. Mixing was handled at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki.

Halo Of Blood is scheduled for release June 11th through Nuclear Blast of course. This will be Children Of bodom’s eighth full length release and the follow up to 2011’s Relentless Reckless Forever. Guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho recently stated about the album:

“‘Halo Of Blood’ is the eighth studio album from Children Of Bodom, and believe it or not, but we still managed to keep it fresh and new while still maintaining the elements that make COB sound recognizable. It’s got the fastest and the slowest song we ever made and lyrics wise there are themes we had never had before. It’s 10 new songs of pure Nordic metal and whether you enjoy it with a beer or a glass of water, I’m sure you will have a good time.”

Finland’s metal extremists Children of Bodom have uploaded a new video to the song “Roundtrip To Hell And Back.” The song comes off their latest album “Relentless Reckless Forever” released in March 2011, via Spinefarm Records.

How many of you Metal Rioters out there have gone to your local record store of choice and picked up a new metal album solely based on the art that graces its cover?

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names? Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it and we bet a lot of you Metal Rioters are sick of doing the same damn thing. So, we’re pulling our sleuth gear out to bring these heavy metal mysteries into the light and every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back to bring you sweet revelation.

Home to Helsinki and the Linux kernel, Finland’s metal extremists Children of Bodom have a name that originates from the site of an unsolved triple murder. Revelation awaits you here.

Germany’s rising stars on the death metal sky, Obscura, have announced that they will be touring the U.S. alongside Children Of Bodom this summer in support of their recent album “Omnivium,” which was released on Relapse Records last month. The four week tour, which kicks off in Los Angeles, will also feature performances by The Devin Townsend Project and Septicflesh.

Hard partying (and harder rocking) Finnish band Children of Bodom (or COB) has announced a North American headlining tour in support of their just released new album “Relentless Reckless Forever” which landed at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 in its first week of release. Brought to you by Guitar World and Revolver, the month long summer tour will kick off in Los Angeles on June 24 and run through July 24 in Montreal where COB will perform alongside KISS, Motörhead and more as part of the “Heavy MTL” hard rock festival.

“We are psyched to see all of our friends in North America and to play our new songs live for all of the Bodom maniacs,” commented COB guitarist / vocalist Alexi “Wildchild” Laiho. “Get ready to throw it down!” Support on the Children of Bodom tour will come from Devin Townsend with openers Obscura and Septicflesh rotating positions each night.

Recorded in Finland with famed rock producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet), “Relentless Reckless Forever” is the seventh studio album of Children of Bodom’s illustrious career. COB’s high-energy hooks and electric energy forge stadium-sized heavy metal anthems that seethe with both marvelous musicianship and a phenomenal pop prowess. The first single and video from the album is the “party song” “Was It Worth It?”. The “Was It Worth It?” video was filmed on location at Pennsylvania’s Action Sports compound Camp Woodward and sees COB join forces with two-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Thrasher magazine “Skater of the Year” Chris Cole and noted pro skaters Jamie Thomas, Garrett Hill and Tom Asta to deliver a one-of-a-kind “audio and visual experience” that perfectly captures the band’s live intensity. Check out “Was It Worth It?” today at this location.

Megadeth is confirmed to play the “HEAVY T.O.” festival at Downsview Park, Toronto on July 23, 2011. The remarkable success of HEAVY MTL (Montreal) prompted the launch of a new event, right down the 401 – that’s right, we’re talkin’ HEAVY T.O.

Set to take place on the same weekend as HEAVY MTL, metal and hard rock fans in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) will be able to get up close and personal with the amazing Heavy experience. The event will feature two full days of programming and, along with HEAVY MTL, will undoubtedly make Canada the envy of the international metal and hard rock communities. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, March 25th @ 11 a.m. EST. For more information, visit heavyto.com.

The best thing I have heard yet in 2019 is "ICE watch", a completely rugged face buster from Arkansas hardcore band Terminal Nation which premiered at No Echo HERE. It will give you the insane over the top feels of a lot of heavy stuff without wondering if the band members have become weird conservative farts or are suddenly gonna cape for YAITW. The song even manages to out mosh the band's recent tune "Pulse Of The Dead" from Absolute Control.
Good news is, TN have a split out with the homies in Neckbeard Deathcamp in February (it is sure to be a big year for both bands this year) and the gossip is we might get a TN full length this year as well. If you want to feel socially responsible while still doing reprehensible shit in the pit (I mean watch out for your peeps if someone falls down...but you know what I mean), this band will be entirely your shit. Bellowed vocals, powerviolence glory and a firm anti-xenophobia message.
